Georgetown's Advisory Neighborhood Commission approved the location of two additional stations.
Georgetown will get two new Capital Bikeshare locations in the coming months after the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) received approval for two additional locations. There are currently five stations in Georgetown. One station will be located next to the CVS on O Street NW at Wisconsin Avenue and the second will be located on what is currently an empty lot where 34th Street intersects with Water Street, NW.
